ALARM MENUS
Alarm handling of the Tx1500 is programmed in from the Alarm Menu screens.
Up to four actions can be carried out following each alarm activation. Eg four cameras could move to preset
positions to triangulate onto an event.
On selection of Alarm Menus the following screen is displayed
This example shows a system with a single 16 input alarm card.
The Tx1500 will display the total number of alarms that can be
programmed based on the Maximum Alarm number set in the
System Basics menu.
Enter the alarm number you wish to program using the 0-9 keys and 2 digits. Eg enter 01 for alarm 1. The
following screen will then be displayed.
Each of the four actions can allow a camera to be moved to a
preset position and for this camera to be displayed on a monitor
output. In addition, if the monitor was sequencing before the alarm
occurred, after ‘time’ seconds the sequence is re-started.
If alarms are taken into the local alarm input of a telemetry
receiver that supports local alarms, ie
Rx100/Rx400DC/Rx457/Rx557, pre must be set to 00 as the
preset will depend on the receiver alarm input. (See the receiver
manual for more details on local alarms.)
This simple example shows alarm 1 moving camera 1 to preset 1
and display on monitor 1.
next and prev allow setting the alarm actions for the next and
previous alarm inputs.
